Description

“I don’t want ‘nice’ art. I want something that’s going to make my retinas bleed. Something that will make me feel something. Something to awaken my soul when I pass by it.”
Henryk defines a new way to make art. The Sydney based artist describes his works as immersive and intense. In front of his pieces, you’ll be transported in a new dimension, in which the only need you can feel is to touch the artwork. He gives a strong significance to the texture, as evidently realized thanks to the polymer, which is given on the board with a free stream, in which the artist follows the happening of the events. He states that all of his works are based on allowing mistakes and accidents, like co-creators of his own art, where nothing but colors are already determined. The observer enters in a relationship with an eternal time. It’s noticeable the movement of a hand, crystallized and stopped in its way of being. In the Ultra Matte series, he involves the use of bright colors, that catch the eye of who’s looking, getting its attention and focusing more and more only on the artwork, forgetting in a sudden the outside world. With a background in fashion photography, these colors are a tribute of the style embraced by fashion magazines. These artworks remind a time of carelessness, that we’re used to live in our childhoods, when we were allowed to touch things, to taste whatever we could find, to create with our hands, without caring about mistakes or, on the other side, precision.
